Danny Stenz, coach of the Marengo Academy girls basketball team,
and Pickens Academy coach Wade Goodman didn't have to scramble for
scouting reports on their next opponents.

Marengo Academy (24-2) faces Patrician Academy for the third time
this season in today's AISA Class A semifinals. The Lady Pirates (20-
3) play Wilcox Academy in Class AA. Goodman said his team beat
Wilcox Academy in the recent regional tournament.

Patrician Academy advanced with a 49-43 victory over Chambers
Academy.

"We've got a definite size advantage," Stenz said.

"We're taller, but they've got a real good outside game. We'll
need to stop Gabby George and Haley Doggett. They shoot really well
from the outside."

Stenz said George is the daughter of Patrician Academy coach
Chris George.

"We're going to have to really extend our defense out," Stenz
said. "It's going to come down to who wants it the most, who wants
to get to that championship game. It's kind of hard beating a team
three times in one year. I'm sure he's got a different game plan for
us. We've been working on some different stuff in practice, just in
case what we've been doing doesn't work."

Lakeside plays Sparta Academy in the other semifinal. Stenz said
Lakeside is probably the favorite, having won the Class AA title
last year. The Class A championship game will be at 6 p.m. Thursday.
